Subject: RE: Interesting bug


On the topic of strange bugs, here is an amusing one:

If you are familiar with the Unrest Zone, you are aware of how you run down
the twisty tunnel between Cauldron and Unrest and the zone point is in the
tunnel.

I was standing just around the second turn in the tunnel in Unrest having
just zoned in and heading for the courtyard when someone yelled "train to
zone!" so I stopped and waited. Around the next corner came 2 tentacle
terrors and one of them ran straight at me, hit me with that special attack
they have and threw me against the wall toward the direction I had come
from. The I regained my bearings and it hit me again, threw me down the
tunnel against another wall and came charging at me for another go.

I decide now is a good time to turn tail and run, zone to safety and wait
out the chaos - so I turn the next corner and there is a dead end...no
zone...a flat wall in front of me! I get smacked by the tentacles again,
and again up against the wall and realize in a split second that they
knocked me PAST the zone point so I had to turn around and head the opposite
direction back INTO unrest and as I rounded the corner I zoned into Cauldron
with 2 bubbles of health.

Crazy place...awful fun though ;-)
